| | Gili Trawangan Island | | | | 1. | Coral fan garden:
Colourful soft corals and many reef fish. Easy diving. | | | | 2. | Shark point:
This dive site lies along the east coast of Gili Trawangan and covers quite a large area. You start in shallow water and follow the slope which has terraces that get gradually deeper to a plateau on about 24m. The coral covering is not so interesting, but there is a good chance to see whitetip and blacktip sharks and sometimes even gray sharks and there are also often turtles here. There is also a sandy area with a lot of garden eels. A popular dive site. | |  | | 3. | Manta point:
If you are lucky you can encounter manta rays in this dive area. From the end of October to the beginning of December (in the rainy season) they migrate here, when the water is rich with plankton. | | | | 4. | Sting ray reef: | | | | 5. | Trawangan slope: | | | | 6. | Basket coral:
Similar dive to Coral Fan with many colourful soft corals and reef fish. Easy diving. | | | | | | | | | | Gili Meno Island | | | | 7. | Alex reef | | | | 8. | Meno wall:
Lies west of Gili Meno, the reef is about 300m long and goes down to about 18m, covered with soft corals and gorgonians. It offers a good chance to see hawksbill and green turtles. Also good for a night dive. | | | | 9 | Meno slope west: | | | | 10. | Meno reef: | | | | 11. | Meno slope east: | | | | 12. | Malang reef:
The plateau lies on about 10m, but drops down to 40m. There are some really nice canyons. | | | | | | | | | | Gili Air Island | | | | 13. | Air slope | | | | 14. | Air wall:
A beautiful wall (max. depth about 32m) with a coral block at 22m which is a cleaner station with shrimps. It is surrounded by a large school of glassfish's and there is often a leaf fish sitting there and feeding on them. After diving on the wall you go around a corner and come to a sandy area. Look around, you might find some interesting animals like the robust ghost pipefish and even sometimes sharks. | | | | 15. | Gili Air harbour (Frogfish point):
A sandy area with garbage and some really interesting critters. This is a good place to find hidden smaller animals like the ghost pipefish, special shrimps, nudibranchs, frogfishes and scorpion fishes and wasp fishes. With luck you also find seahorses, short-tailed pip fishes, mandarin fishes and sea snakes. Very good for macro photography | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | South West Lombok | | | | 1. | The Magnet (Sopia Lawisa):
This dive site is the reason why most divers come here, mainly because there is a good chance to see hammerhead sharks. This is a large rocky pinnacle jutting up from about 50m below. It lies in the open sea and 20 to 30 min. by boat. Large waves crash on top of the rock and over it and the resulting surge can be felt even down at 20 meters! Actually you can only dive safely below 15m because of the surge and all the bubbles in the water and safety stops are made away from the rock.
For experienced divers only! You dive on the north side of the rock and make a drop right in the middle, if possible. If the currents are not so strong you can now continue the dive by going in zigzag back and forth between the eastern and western edge where the currents coming from the south can be felt strongly. The large pelagic such as hammerheads, whitetip sharks, mackerels and barracudas congregate here in large numbers. If the currents are fiercer, the area where you can dive narrows with side currents pushing you towards the middle of the sheer wall. If the currents lessen you can even dive entirely around the rock which even then is still a challenge, because you have to fight against both current and surge..
The amount of fish you see is quiet amazing and during our week there we saw a lot of really large dog tooth tunas, some mobulas (like manta rays, but smaller) and eagle rays, several sharks including hammerheads and twice we just seem to hit a wall of barracudas - great! We also went once out to the Magnet and decided not to dive, because it was too dangerous. The other dive sites are more sheltered, so we went there. | | | | 2. | Coral garden:
You dive around two larger rocks with a series of smaller rocks which lie on sand. Lot's of soft corals in yellow, orange and purple colours, whip corals, some gorgonians and anemones. We found some nice nudibranchs and shrimps and also saw a school of small barracudas. An easy dive, max. depth about 25m. | | | | 3. | Bawarlan Reef | | | | 4. | Wollis Pinnacle:
Is a large rock which top is about 7m below the surface and some more rocks tumbled together and lying on white sand. We saw a black giant frogfish, sharks, ribbon eels and several species of nudibranchs. There is sheltered area with gorgonians, table corals and black corals. An easy but interesting dive, max. depth 19m.
| | | | 5. | Bolder City | | | | 6. | Gili Sera:
This is a big chunk of rock. Underwater it looks like large pieces of the rock fell down and are now littering the sand all around the island. These rocks are covered with leather corals, sponges and tunicates, but there are some more sheltered areas where table corals and black corals grow. When the currents are not very strong, this is a nice dive site for small animals such as nudibranchs, shrimps, glass fishes, scorpion fishes and even the occasional sea snake, white tip reef shark or ray. | | | | 7. | The Cathedral: (for experienced divers)
This large pinnacle rises from about 40m to the surface. Only a small rock is visible from the surface and the crashing waves fills the upper 5m of water with bubbles. You dive on a steep wall covered with soft corals, sponges and tunicates. There are yellow sea cucumbers everywhere. We encountered two species of sea snakes, the common banded sea krait and I think the turtlehead sea snake (Emydocephalus annulatus). The later has a much larger head and a brown colour but also some lighter coloured bands.
The swell makes you go up and down a lot - not so good for your ears - and like on the Magnet we actually surfaced from about 10m by swimming away some distance to avoid the swell. | | | | 8. | Blue Hole (Batu merah) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
